Commencement Speakers VALEDICTORIAN—Robert Percy Robert Percy, better known to his friends as Bob,” has been one of our most conscientious students during his high school career, and his reward is the distinction of being Valedictorian with an average of 96.42%. Bob” came to us from Public School No. 4. He has been a member of the Honor Society since his sophomore year, freshmen being ineligible. He was one of three who tied for top place in the Honor Society competition of 1936, each of whom received a cup. The same year he was one of the delegates to the Mathematics Contest sponsored by the Pi Mu Epsilon Society held at New York University. The following year he became a member of the Bob,” who is much interested in science, has held the positions of laboratory assistant and laboratory manager, and has belonged to the Science Club. His aptitude for mathematics and science led him into his decision to study chemical engineering. He has applied to Rensselaer, although the fall may find him at Cornell or Harvard. Bob” loves to hunt and fish, but he confesses that he fishes better than he shoots. He spends much of his leisure time in experimenting in science and reading history. SALUTATORIAN—Doris Goldstein Success, respect, and honor are the just deserts of perseverance; therefore, Doris Goldstein is entirely worthy of the honor and distinction of being class Salutatorian. Doris is second in the list of Senior ratings with a regents’ average of 94.32%. Graduating from Public School No. 5, in June 1933, Doris entered Lawrence High School in September of that year. Extremely interested in history, she has made it one of her major subjects. Doris has been active in sports, having taken part in Junior Varsity Basketball. She was a member of the tennis team in 1935, and became manager of that team in the following year. In addition, Doris participated in two gym exhibitions. She was a member of the Riding Club, the Secretary of the Freshman Club, and as a member of the Lawrencian Board she worked diligently to help make the latter a success. Her hobbies are sports, the theater, and art. Doris intends to further her education after high school, and hopes, upon graduation from college, to embark upon a journalistic career. Mathematics Club. Isabel Helfat Isabel Helfat, coming to us from Public School No. 3 in 1933, has gained recognition among the students as one of the most intellectual girls in high school. She had been in the Honor Society ever since her sophomore year, and received a cup in the three-way tie in the Honor Society competition of 1936. Her interests in high school have been many and varied. She belonged to the Buskins Club, and took part in its 1936 tournament. Horseback riding being one of her favorite diversions, she joined the Riding Club. She also took an active part in several gymnastic exhibitions. Moving pictures commanding her attention, she became a member of the Cinema Club, later becoming its president. In the fall of last year she took part in the Dedication of Lawrence High School. Isabel expects to enter college in the fall to prepare herself for a career in commercial advertising. Since she has been a Mental Pabulum reporter, a member of the Lawrencian Board, and a member of the Journalism Club, it would seem that her interests lie in that direction. Isabel’s hobbies are art and the theater; in the latter she prefers the plays starring Katharine Cornell. LAWRENCIAN = I rj 1

Command of the ofundamental processes FEW high school students are conversant with classical literature, and not many more have mastered grammatical intricacies. One of the objectives of education in general, and in English in particular, is the ability to express oneself. Modern English classes are so organized as to give the students the opportunity of becoming proficient in these subjects. By means of sympathetic interpretations the pupils are taught to appreciate the literary offerings of such men as Shakespeare, Coleridge, Scott, Milton, and some of the modern authors, dramatists, and poets. After becoming familiar with the styles of these men, students can more readily achieve their objective, better self-expression.
